Review:
an excellent biography of an interesting and important man (Financial Times )
This thorough and widely researched biography is the most authoritative work yet on Paton. (Donald Woods, Sunday Times )
For admirers of Paton, it is an affirmation of his brilliance; while for the uninitiated, it is a loving portrait of a remarkable man, an extraordinary time and a strange and tormented land. (Samantha Weinberg, The Times )
